Jeremías 32:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:5

And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon
As he did in chains, from Riblah, where he was brought unto him after he was taken, endeavouring to make his escape, ( Jeremiah 52:8 Jeremiah 52:9 Jeremiah 52:11 ) ; and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord;
in taking him away by death; for he continued in Babylon to the time of his death, which was not violent, but natural; and, considering his circumstances, his captivity, imprisonment, and loss of sight, might be reckoned a visitation in mercy: though some understand this of God's visiting the people at the return of them from their seventy years' captivity; if Zedekiah lived till then, he must be a very old man; but of this we have no account, nor is it probable: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper;
though they should sally out upon them, in order to beat them out of their trenches, and drive them from the walls of the city, yet without success.

Jeremías 32:5 In-Context

3 El rey Sedequías lo había puesto allí, y preguntaba por qué Jeremías seguía dando esta profecía: «Esto dice el Señor
: “Estoy a punto de entregar esta ciudad al rey de Babilonia, y él la tomará.

4 El rey Sedequías será capturado por los babilonios
y llevado a encontrarse cara a cara con el rey de Babilonia.

5 Él llevará a Sedequías a Babilonia y allí me ocuparé de él —dice el Señor
—. Si ustedes pelean contra los babilonios, no vencerán”».

6 En ese tiempo el Señor
me envió un mensaje. Me dijo:

7 «Tu primo Hanameel, hijo de Salum, vendrá y te dirá: “Compra mi terreno en Anatot. Por ley tienes derecho a comprarlo antes de que lo ofrezca a algún otro”».
